Just found your site. My Mom was from Belfast. Can't remember the street she lived on. Looked at the street list hoping to jog my memory but just can't remember. Plan to explore your site further later on. There's a lot here to keep me busy. Thanks!

PS: explaining my email address- Carolina Shag is a dance here in the south. It's the state dance of South Carolina.

Hi Everyone, I love all the guest book entries, we seem to have control of the spam now, thankfully, still get the odd one but its filtered out

Could everyone who emails me or leaves a guest book entry please please PLEASE either add my email address (above) to your safe senders list or check regularly your spam/junk folders, many folders delete after a week, some less, I have a folder full of unanswered emails, nearly a hundred over the past 2 years, some of the information is good too, lost family members trying to make contact so PLEASE CHECK YOUR JUNK FOLDERS

I've signed your book before but want to reiterate what a fantastic site. I'm/we are tracing my Irish roots n find your Belfast street directories really helpful. It's a remarkable site and thanks to all who keep it updated. Big thanks from Claire McGibbon from Halifax.

My Grandfather served as a pte with the Royal Irish Rifles during WW1 in France. Army number 18/1604, his medal card showing the Mons star and the SWB. He survived the war of all wars, suffering shellshock for the remainder of his life. Any information would greatly be appreciated.

Have just come across the name of my Great Uncle Andy McNeil who died in action at the Battle of the Somme. My own father is now 86 years of age, although Andy had died before he was born he often says about how deeply it affected my great grandmother.

Researching Gardner family, Patterson, Mooney and Hart, all from Belfast. Francis Mooney (1844 - 1900) married Sarah Patterson 1865 and they had 8 children. It is my objective to find a living relative in belfast or beyond. Any advice or ideas welcomeClare Meyers in Australia

Found my Great Grandfather as coastguard in Whiteabbey and confirmed in the nationalarchives.ie search. This is a great cross reference. More digging required now as I note that earlier children were born in Derry. Thanks for a really useful service.

Ihave been on and of this site for about 18 months now, but now you have got more street directories it is better than ever ,Keep up the good work. Thanks

At the age of 3 I travelled to Canada (Halifax) on the Franconia in December 1951. I certainly do not remember much - but my parents took quite a number of photos of the passage.

Thank you so much for all your hard work. I have managed to locate the street address where my Great Grandfather lived in Belfast in 1877. He must have moved to the UK between 1878 - 1880. He shows up in the UK Census for 1881. I was born in Manchester,England. Amazing.

This is fascinating stuff and I am thrilled to find it. However, I am confused. I have the 1901 and 1911 census returns but the street numbers don't seem to correspond with the street records here and some names simply aren't there. Has anyone else experienced this?

My grandfather fought in Burma with the 8th HAA, you have him in a picture as Jimmy Strachin on an AA gun but he was John Stranaghan from 57 Joseph St. He didn't talk much about the war and had only two photographs, one of the gun he named after my mother (Myrtle) and the other of group photo of the 22nd battery.

I've learned a lot from this site about the achievements of the 8th HAA and have something to pass on to my grandchildren.

Keep up this good work.

I would like to know how to find out about my grandfather, who was in the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers. I heard him talking about the Boer war, Alexandria, the Khyber Pass, when I was young. I have a photo of him in a sergeant's uniform with my Granny and my Mother as a young girl. I have a notion that he might have enlisted twice. He also would seem to have had some connection with the 87th Royal Irish Fusiliers, as I have a Christmas Card from 'somewhere in France' from Major Ivan Dullaghan (I am not sure of the writing) to Lt. Col. Madden & officers 4th Royal Irish ????. On the other page is a photo of George R. I (Capital letter I not figure 1) Colonel-in-chief of the 87th Royal Irish Fusiliers.

What a WONDERFUL site. I found photos of my mother and aunt when they worked in box making. Jim Ogle was a great friend of the family. I still have a few relatives and wonderful friends in Ireland. My grandfather was William Donaldson from Union Street where he had the bike shop at #92.Thank you so much. I will certainly donate to your work. I do have some old photos too if you would be interested.Regards,Ruth Postorino New York
